Hullo you lovely folks! Have you been missing our nerd jokes? Of course you have! Never fear, because the newsletter is BACK after the summer break and we’ll be entertaining you fortnightly with our special brand of geek.

The first update of the new season goes out today. To get it, email news@geekpop.co.uk. Type SUBSCRIBE ME RIGHT UP into the subject line and include your full name in the body of the email. (More details here).

“A fully-formed indie pop song, this wouldn’t be out of place on the playlist of an independent radio station. And it has the potential to become the new stalking anthem that could finally replace “Every Breath You Take” by Police – at least, I hope so…”

“Pulls at the heartstrings as well as the nerd… strings. Fab.”

Naomi’s website is here and as she says in the song, you can easily find her Twitter feed. Naomi also asked us to mention David Deery, who helped her record the song.

We also want to mention a couple of other song writers who didn’t quite win, but did impress us muchly with their creations:

So this is the one all you budding song writers have been waiting for. The time has come for us to announce the winner of our Summer Song Writing Competition! It hasn’t been easy choosing a winner. In fact, it’s been bloody hard. You’ve all done such a darn good job.

So big thanks to our judges for making all the tough decisions, and a special shout out to Graphic Science for making it worth the winner’s while by stumping up £100 of Gadget Shop vouchers… Oooooh. Now, you’ll just have to listen to the end to see who’s won them.

And in the mean time, you can hear us trying (and failing spectacularly) to get to grips with M theory, pondering over an Inuit hymn and doing the old big-fish-little-fish-cardboard box routine (whether you can actually hear that last one is debatable).
